Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of catalyst technology, specifically relating to a novel benzene hydrogenation catalyst and its preparation and use methods. Background Technology

[0002] Cyclohexane is an important organic chemical intermediate, widely used in the production of nylon-6 and nylon-66. Currently, over 90% of industrially produced cyclohexane is obtained by hydrogenating benzene. The production technology is relatively mature, and commonly used catalysts include nickel-based, platinum-based, and palladium-based catalysts. Among them, nickel-aluminum catalysts have good activity and relatively low price, and are widely used in industrial plants.

[0003] There are also many patent reports on noble metal catalysts for benzene hydrogenation. For example, CN102600888A discloses a noble metal Ru catalyst for benzene hydrogenation. This catalyst is supplemented with promoters La, Ce, Fe, Zn, and Cu, and the support is a mesoporous molecular sieve MCM-41 modified with one or two of the oxides ZrO2, ZnO, and CuO. CN1457923 discloses a platinum-based catalyst for the hydrogenation of benzene to cyclohexane. The catalyst components have the following weight contents: Pt 0.05-20%, promoters 0.05-30%, and the remainder is the support. The preparation method is an impregnation-wet reduction method. The catalyst has high activity and selectivity for the hydrogenation of benzene to cyclohexane.

[0004] There are many patent reports on Ni-based catalysts for benzene hydrogenation. For example, CN1210759A discloses a method for preparing nickel-based benzene hydrogenation catalysts using the sol-gel method; CN1546230 discloses a method for preparing a mixture of nickel oxide and rare earth oxide benzene hydrogenation catalysts using the co-precipitation method; and CN1082388C discloses a method for preparing low-nickel content benzene hydrogenation catalysts using the sol-gel method.

[0005] Unlike precious metals, which typically have lower loadings, nickel-based catalysts usually require metal contents exceeding 40% to achieve good benzene hydrogenation catalytic activity. Impregnation is a simple and low-cost method, highly effective for preparing catalysts with low metal contents. However, when the metal content exceeds 20%, precursor dissolution becomes difficult. Co-precipitation, a commonly used method for preparing high-content, multi-component catalysts, can achieve highly dispersed and homogeneous catalyst components, which is beneficial for improving catalytic activity and stability.

[0006] In existing technologies, benzene hydrogenation catalysts are mostly inorganic supported catalysts. The inorganic oxide supports are primarily alumina, silica, zirconium oxide, magnesium oxide, zinc oxide, activated carbon, or their composites. The surface acidity of inorganic supports makes it easy for carbon deposits to form on the catalyst surface during the benzene hydrogenation reaction, reducing catalyst activity and shortening catalyst life. To reduce carbon deposition, alkaline inorganic promoters are usually added to the catalyst to lower the surface acidity, but this method cannot completely solve the problem of carbon deposition.

[0007] Benzene hydrogenation is an exothermic reaction, and when heat transfer is disrupted, a "temperature runaway" phenomenon can easily occur. Because nickel-based catalysts have poor thermal stability at high temperatures, NiO particles are prone to agglomeration and sintering. Even with thorough dispersion of the metal components through co-precipitation, some nickel can still form strongly interacting "Ni-O-Al" bonds with the support, dispersing on the support surface as nickel-aluminum spinel. This reduces NiO utilization efficiency, lowers catalyst activity and stability, and affects catalyst lifespan. These factors result in the relatively narrow activity temperature range of nickel-aluminum catalysts currently used in industry.

[0008] Therefore, for the hydrogenation of benzene to cyclohexane, a hydrogenation process has been developed that can overcome the problem of poor catalyst stability caused by easy carbon deposition on the catalyst surface, achieve high activity and complete hydrogenation, and avoid reaction runaway. This has important practical significance for the application of benzene hydrogenation catalysts. Summary of the Invention

[0009] To address the aforementioned technical problems, the present invention aims to provide a novel method for preparing a benzene hydrogenation catalyst. By modifying alumina to reduce the acidity of the support surface, the problem of easy carbon deposition in the catalyst during use is solved. The addition of structural additives broadens the applicable temperature range of the catalyst, reduces the occurrence of side reactions, improves the catalyst performance, enhances the thermal stability of the catalyst, and extends the service life of the catalyst.

[0010] This invention is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0012] The main active component is 50-65 wt%, alumina is 30-50 wt%, structural auxiliary metal is 0.2-2 wt%, and modifying auxiliary is 0.2-3 wt%.

[0017] The cellulose derivative is either sodium carboxymethyl cellulose or sodium carboxyethyl cellulose.

[0018] A novel method for preparing a benzene hydrogenation catalyst includes the following steps:

[0019] S1. Select alumina precursor and modifying agent solution, mix them, crush and sieve them in a mixer to obtain modified alumina powder;

[0020] S2. Select the modified auxiliary metal salt solution and the structural auxiliary metal salt solution and mix them to obtain metal mixture A;

[0021] S3. In the reaction vessel, prepare the precipitant into a solution, stir it evenly, and preheat it to the reaction temperature;

[0022] S4. Under stirring conditions, the metal mixture A is added dropwise to the reaction vessel in S3 at a predetermined rate to carry out a neutralization and precipitation reaction. After the neutralization and precipitation reaction is completed, aging and hot boiling are carried out.

[0023] S5. Then, select modified alumina powder and add it to the heated reaction vessel to mix and slurry. The slurry is then filtered, washed, dried, ground, granulated, calcined and pressed into tablets to obtain the catalyst.

[0024] Preferably, in S1, the alumina precursor is boehmite;

[0025] The mixing and rolling time is 40-60 min, and the mixing and rolling rate is 50-100 rpm;

[0026] The sieving process involves passing the material through a 10-20 mesh filter.

[0027] Preferably, in step S2, the modified auxiliary metal salt solution is a carbonate or nitrate corresponding to the modified auxiliary metal.

[0028] The structural aid metal salt solution is the carbonate or nitrate corresponding to the structural aid metal.

[0029] Preferably, in step S3, the precipitant is sodium carbonate decahydrate;

[0030] The precipitant and deionized water are mixed in a reaction vessel at a ratio of 500-600g:4000mL to form a solution.

[0031] Preferably, in step S4, the dripping time is 60 minutes;

[0032] The predetermined rate is to add the solution slowly at a rate of 20-40 mL / min for the first 15 minutes, and then rapidly at a rate of 40-70 mL / min for the next 45 minutes.

[0033] Preferably, the temperature of the neutralization precipitation reaction is 40–70°C;

[0034] The aging time is 20-60 minutes, and the aging temperature is 40-70℃.

[0036] A method for using a novel benzene hydrogenation catalyst, wherein the catalyst is used in the hydrogenation of pure benzene or materials containing a portion of benzene.

[0037] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has at least the following technical effects:

[0038] This invention provides a novel method for preparing a benzene hydrogenation catalyst. By modifying alumina, the acidity of the support surface is reduced, which solves the problem of easy carbon deposition in the catalyst during use. The addition of structural additives broadens the applicable temperature range of the catalyst, reduces the occurrence of side reactions, improves the catalyst performance, enhances the thermal stability of the catalyst, and extends the service life of the catalyst.

[0039] Among them, (1) an alkaline inorganic additive (i.e. a modifying additive) is added in the preparation of the catalyst support to modify the alumina support, effectively reducing the surface acidity of the alumina support, so that carbon deposits are not easily formed on the surface of the catalyst in the benzene hydrogenation reaction.

[0040] (2) The synergistic effect of the auxiliary metal and the active component nickel broadens the applicable temperature range of the catalyst. The catalyst has high hydrogenation performance in the temperature range of 130-260℃, and the side reactions are effectively suppressed.

[0041] (3) Adding structural aids during the preparation process can fully disperse the active metal nickel. The aid metal can prevent the nickel from forming a strong "Ni-O-Al" bond with the support, effectively inhibiting the agglomeration of NiO particles, preventing catalyst sintering at high temperature, and effectively extending the catalyst life.
